The Assassination of Jesse James

Can a movie that’s more style than substance actually work? Yes, I think so… There is enough substance here to keep the balance, and although the style sometimes goes over the edge (things like selective/tilt focus and such), the movie was very watchable. The pace was a bit slow, but I didn’t m ind. The main character – the guy doing the assassinating – was really bothersome at first, but he kind of grew on me. As for Brad Pitt? Something troubles me about him, but I’ll have to say that I’ve liked most of the stuff he’s done.
